Gwinnett Coalition

What Gwinnett Coalition does

Gwinnett Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit backbone organization founded in 1989 and headquartered at 750 S Perry Street, Lawrenceville, Georgia, that operates a collective-impact model to convene nonprofits, schools, healthcare providers, businesses, faith communities, and government agencies around health and well-being in Gwinnett County (population ~1 million). Its work is organized around three pillars: health equity (Gwinnett Health Finder resource directory and Georgia Access enrollment partnership), mental and behavioral health (Resilient Gwinnett collaborative, 17 evidence-informed training programs, Trauma-Informed Toolkit in five languages, and a Youth Advisory Council for ages 13-26), and nonprofit capacity building (Gwinnett Nonprofit Coalition with tiered memberships and curated events).

The organization runs a lean 7-person core staff (President/CEO, Director of Community Health, Director of Communications, Community Health Program Manager, Senior Marketing and Engagement Coordinator, Community Health Coordinator, Administrative Coordinator) and depends on a broad partner ecosystem including Kaiser Permanente (presenting sponsor of the annual Resilient Gwinnett Summit), View Point Health, United Way of Greater Atlanta, Gwinnett County Government, Gwinnett County Public Schools, GNR Public Health, GUIDE Inc., Mosaic Georgia, Ser Familia, Wellroot Family Services, Georgia Center for Child Advocacy, Resilient Georgia, and Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia. Designated as Gwinnett County's Family Connection Collaborative and an Ally member of the National Council of Nonprofits, it holds quasi-structural standing in regional health and nonprofit policy.

Its revenue mechanics mix donations and corporate sponsorships (dominant), tiered GNC memberships (Access free, Accelerate $250/year, Advance $500/year), and unit-priced meeting room rentals ($25-$75 per session) at its Lawrenceville office. The tech stack is non-proprietary: a website, the Gwinnett Health Finder directory, a member portal, and the Candid/GuideStar Search database accessed in-person. There is no evidence of a software platform, mobile app, or AI/ML capability, and the organization is not a venture- or equity-backed entity, operating instead on contributed revenue, grants, and earned program fees.
